A restaurant on top of a mountain, reached by gondola, is pretty much the definition of a captive audience. So it’s a pleasant surprise that the Crystal Mountain Summit House actually offers good food, even though it could get away with mediocre to bad fare. The pork tenderloin medallions were tender and flavorful, and the chop salad featured fresh ingredients and a generous portion size. The lodge decor feels just right, and the large plate-glass windows on all sides mean most tables have a lovely mountaintop view.
